I don't know...
If TimeCop can lure 5 star recruits with such effect strategies as "YOU!" and formerly offer scholarships to a losing program that is only going down, I think Petrino has a pretty good chance to recruit in.
That being said I absolutely hate the guy and think Louisville made a major mistake.
YA MUFF CABBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!
Newsome already has a chain of stores, called Waffle House.
I'll take Ford for Five Hundred Alex.
TIGHT END TIGHT END TIGHT END. I'm done now.
in the Big East? Is that FCS now?
Petrino will have an uphill battle when it comes to recruiting, at least somewhat.
Every opposing coach is going to bring up these transgressions with the recruit and his family and ask them if this is the kind of guy they want to be teaching their child to become a man.
Dates are still somewhat fluid, and even if the four OOC game days remain the same we'll almost certainly have an ACC game, not a bye week.
So it looks like Petrino is The Magic Man...
Why we don't Raines and Barksdale more against taller teams is a mystery
Because Raines is a bum?
Yes. Yes we have.
ESPN reporting Petrino will be the coach.
Petrino plus Shannon would be doomsday for a lot of teams. Get them a few years to get their guys in and they'll be dominant.
Umm some kids want to take time to make their decision, nothing wrong with that.
Haven't we all had enough deceased equine flagellation?
Dude's been having all kinds of stuff thrown at him over the last couple years. Can't blame the kid for taking his time and making sure he's 100% sold on where he wants to go to college.
I lost all interest about four months ago on him. I hope he picks VT But if he don't , No Surprise here. IMHO, get on Board and Help your Class IF you're coming to VT, That's how I felt fours months ago, and still do..so be it.
Total graduates.
Don't forget, a donation to the school athletics doesn't just go to the specific team. So, in this case, a donation to the AF from a basketball fan also goes to football program.
In what way is Caleb's skill set similar to Percy Harvin's?
A better question would be "why do you almost never see 2 Qbs on the field at the same time" regardless of team, qb depth, or situation? Because it actually opens up few possibilities, has little upside, and has considerable downside.
Let's say, you line up with Leal at QB and LT at TE (because vice versa would be utterly useless). The defense is immediately going to think it's either a gadget play of some sort or a simple pass to LT. The problem is that there is virtually no element of surprise there. Gadget plays work only if there's the element of surprise -- otherwise they're just slow-developing plays that are easy to defend. So the D adjusts by cheating a guy on Thomas...thus making the basic pass play to him a more difficult option as well.
But let's say Loeffler decides to get too clever by half and uses this as a ruse for a RB run. Now you've taken away the threat of the QB running and added a TE that doesn't really know how to block into the equation. Even if the D diverts an extra body toward LT, you essentially lose a blocking hat as well.
Or let's say Loeffler decides to get even more clever and uses LT as a decoy again, but the play is designed for Leal to throw the ball downfield to another receiver besides LT. All you've done then is put the D on it's toes, removed your most valuable playmaker from the play and simply inserted your least best option at QB. Even if it's a completion, it's only one play and you've accomplished little you couldn't have accomplished with LT at QB.
Not to mention that all the while LT has wasted precious practice time lining up at TE and learning how to block -- and reducing his practice time at the position where he is most valuable. All to get one or two plays at QB for Leal.
So pretty much the only time you would try such a thing is when the game is out of reach. But if the game's out of reach, why bother? Just play Leal, run the offense, and don't needlessly risk injury to LT.
The real problem was that VT was unable to get a big enough lead to get Leal any meaningful playing time. This is not new; it has been a problem for VT for years now.
I don't think I could stomach it if for some reason unbeknownst to God and mankind he chose UVA.
Signing Day will be nervous moments. If Maddy leaves, Nnadi is in the two deep first day of fall practice.
Make Louisville better? Didn't they just have 11 and 12 win seasons?
I'm not from new Jersey but this sort of stuff doesn't belong on this forum.
